Thanks to Katherine Looper for inviting us to perform in this beautiful space. Also, I had a chance to visit the Tenderloin museum next door and enjoyed learning about one of San Francisco's most interesting neighborhoods the TL. Lots of fascinating history around strong independent women, LGTBQ activisim, housing rights, vice, and immigrant communities. I highly recommend visiting this museum if you get a chance (located at 398 Eddy St.)
 What a great experience playing with all these bassists.

Had a great time playing a tribute concert to the late great vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson who was one of my main inspirations for playing Jazz. Thanks and gratitude towards his son Barry for putting together a killer band.
